Today I did another portsnap and ran portupgrade on everything listed by pkg_version, with no change. About this not being a Gnome issue, when I log into a Failsafe Terminal session I see a similar effect. The xterm window shows a cursor, but no text. When I type a command like ls I see a band of black speckles spread clear across the screen, in line with where the rows of text should appear. So, the symptoms are different than in Gnome proper, but close enough. My question is, how much of Gnome is still in play in Failsafe Terminal mode? At that point am I really just running plain old X? That's what it looks like. Can I conclude that this is not a Gnome issue? BTW, aloha from Hawaii, where it is a sunny 75F.
